The document published by the National Development and Reform Commission released the right to import crude oil, not the right to import crude oil. Therefore, local refineries still need to import through five enterprises, such as China United Oil, China United Chemical, CNOOC, Sinochem Group and Zhuhai Rong Zhen.
2065438+On February 16, 2005, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Notice of the National Development and Reform Commission on Relevant Issues Concerning the Use and Management of Imported Crude Oil, which will allow qualified local refineries to use imported crude oil on the premise of eliminating backward production capacity of a certain scale or building gas storage facilities of a certain scale.
At present, domestic crude oil imports are divided into state-owned and non-state-owned trade, and state-owned is mainly controlled by large enterprises such as Sinopec, PetroChina, CNOOC and Sinochem. There are more than 20 enterprises that have obtained the import qualification of non-state-owned crude oil, but the imported crude oil can only be processed in refineries approved according to the prescribed procedures.
Release the right to use crude oil imported by private enterprises, and the oil consumption of new oil-using enterprises shall be determined according to a certain proportion of the capacity of eliminating backward devices owned or merged and reorganized and the construction scale of gas storage facilities, but the upper limit shall not exceed the sum of the design and processing capacity of qualified atmospheric and vacuum distillation units of the enterprise, and the traceability and inspection confirmation procedures for eliminating backward production capacity shall be stipulated.
Extended data:
Some market participants are not optimistic about the enthusiasm of refining and importing crude oil in the future. On the one hand, since Sinopec obtained the import quota of100000 tons in 20 13, a domino effect appeared in the local refining raw material market, and a large number of domestic crude oil resources with high cost performance flowed into the hands of local refiners. Considering the high transportation cost of imported crude oil, the refining benefit of imported crude oil is not as good as that of domestic crude oil.
On the other hand, local refining is different from main refining, with weak planning and strong profitability, while the period from procurement to processing of imported crude oil is long. Once the crude oil fluctuates greatly, the refinery may face huge losses for a long time, which is unbearable for local refining, so it may be difficult for local refining to continuously purchase imported crude oil on a large scale like Chinese prefix enterprises.
